Episode notes
Negotiation Without Key Stakeholders
- Trump is trying to force a Ukraine ceasefire to claim a diplomatic win, but Ukraine distrusts Russia and Europe feels sidelined.
- The meeting architecture (Trump–Putin, no Zelensky, location confusion) makes a lasting peace unlikely without broader stakeholders.

- Drones have dominated the Ukraine battlefield and increased rapidly, shifting tactics and countermeasures.
- This conflict may act as a testing ground that accelerates the future face of unmanned warfare.
